Answer: Yes, doctor's order is within the desired range.


Step-by-step explanation:

We need to first convert 19.8 lb to kg.

We know that 1 kg=2.20 lb

Therefore, the weight of infant=19.8\div 2.2=9\ kg

Minimum Desired Dosage)=9\times75=675\ mg

Maximum Desired Dosage  =9\times150=1350\ mg

Since there are 24 hours in one day and the medication is ordered every 8 hours.

\\\Rightarrow24\div8= 3 times per day doctor ordered medication .

Total amount of Rocephin in a day=3\times250=750 mg ordered per day

And 750 mg is within the desired range of 675-1,350 mg

So, yes doctor has ordered a dosage within the desired range.

Answer:

2 cents

Step-by-step explanation:

you would just divide the Flav-O-Squeeze price by 12 since there are 12 pouches and the Turbo Taste price by 20 since there are 20 pouches and then you would get 1 pack of Flav-O-Squeeze is 49 cents and 1 pack of Turbo Taste is 51 cents and if you subtract them Turbo Taste is 2 cents more then Flav-O-Squeeze

Quadrilaterals WXYZ and BADC are congruent. In addition, WX ≅ DC and XY ≅ BC. If AD = 4 cm and AB = 6 cm, what is the perimeter
Yanka [14]

If <u>quadrilaterals</u> WXYZ and BADC are <u>congruent</u>, then their corresponding <u>sides</u> are congruent.

Given that

  • WX≅DC,
  • XY≅BC,

you can state that

  • YZ≅AB,
  • WZ≅AD.

If AD = 4 cm and AB = 6 cm, then WZ = 4 cm and YZ = 6 cm. Opposite rectangle sides are congruent, then XY = 4 cm and WX = 6 cm.

The perimeter of WXYZ is

P = WX + XY + YZ + WZ = 6 + 4 + 6 + 4 = 20 cm.

Answer: 20 cm

Unnithan, Houser, and Fernhall (2006) were interested in whether playing the game Dance Dance Revolution (DDR) met the American
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

The conclusion that both groups of overweight and non - overweight got cardiovascular benefit from playing DDR games requires Inferential statistics.

Step-by-step explanation:

Inferential statistics is simply a type of research statistic whereby a generalized conclusion is made about a larger group based on representative observations

Now,in the given question, we see that both group hearts were above the minimum recommended for cardiovascular exercise. Now we can infer that the DDR games played by both groups gave them cardiovascular benefits. This conclusion is an example of Inferential statistics where we generalize about a large population based on observations from a small sample.

Thus the conclusion that both groups of overweight and non-overweight got cardiovascular benefit from playing DDR games requires Inferential statistics.
